As to the so-called Hindu idolatry - first go and learn the forms they are going through, and where it is that the worshippers are really worshipping, whether in the temple, in the image, or in the temple of their own bodies. First know for certain what they are doing - which more than ninety per cent of the revilers are thoroughly ignorant of - and then it will explain itself in the light of the Vedantic philosophy.
Swami VivekanandaMan cannot be satisfied by wealth. Man cannot go beyond his nature, no more than you can jump out of your body.
Swami VivekanandaNever mind these failures, these little backslidings; hold the ideal a thousand times, and if you fail a thousand times, make the attempt once more.
Swami VivekanandaStrength, strength for us. What we need is strength, who will give us strength? There are thousands to weaken us, and of stories we have had enough.
Swami Vivekananda
